Conor Murphy told Conservatives in Blackpool today that it was time for Unionists to get real: ” There is no alternative plan. The Agreement is as good as it gets”.
Clearly targeting the DUPs 50 page dossier on Unionist grievances, he went on to remark:
“If unionist communities are voiceless then that is a reflection on those elected to represent them. The figures for poverty and deprivation in the north indicate that the vast majority of areas suffering social exclusion and poverty are nationalist. Deprivation needs to be tackled on the basis of need – not on the basis of perception or to service a particular political agenda.”
A slightly inhuman presence that bans bad comments and works late at night to remove the wrinkles in Slugger’s technical carpet. You will need to know about the comments policy to stay off the fightin’ side of me and there is a bit of background about me here. You can email me using this spam-proof link if you really need to, and Slugger is @sluggerotoole on Twitter. But above all, remember, Play the ball and not the man.
